Nomination of Public Printer Benedict.

Nomination OF Public Printer Benedict.
The Senate committee on printing, It is
said, began tho study of certain problems
involved In the nomination Of Mr.. Benedict
to be public printer, and Mr.. Benedict was
himself before the committee for e2amina-
tion. No conclusion was reached, and an-
other meeting is to be held during the week.
1t is understood that there are no formu-
lated charges against the nominee, but there
are people who CLAIM that he Is not a prac-
tical plinter or bookbinder, and in these
respects does not meet the requirements of
the law governing the appointment to this
Office. The committee finds itself called
upon not only to investigate and determine
the questions Of fact but to interpret the
the law. 1t is argued on the one hand that
to be practical printer and bookbinder one
must have served an apprenticeship attype-
setting and have worked with his own hands
at bookbinding. On the other hand, 1t is
urged that the manager of an immense
establishment like the government printing
office may be all the more efficient for not
having passed his life In wrestling with the
minuti@ or the mere mechanical features Of
the work in hand. The committee will give
Mr., Benedict ample opportunity to reply TO
anything which may be said against him.

Ceorpe Francis Trains Terrible Threat.
Swiss LandslinS.

Speaking of the recent landslips ut
Speringer, the London Standard says:
Many of the Swiss villages exist almost
on suiierance; the avalanche of snow,
or the avalanche of earth, may at any
time sweep them away, or, what is
equally as ruinous, overwhelm them with
the debris of the mountain at the foot
of or on which they are built. In not
few instances, the landslip is so slow
in its progress, that it is only ques-
ton of time when the final catastrophe
will be precipitated. At Bee Rouge, in
the Tarentaise, for example, the side of
the mountain is gradually overwhelming
the village of Miroir. In most cases,
however, the calamity is sudden and
unexpected. Such an instance is sup
piled in the fall of Rossberg, a we'll
known mountain 5000 feet high, stu
ated behind the better known and
loftier Rigi. In 1906, after very rainy
season, large portion of the
mountains, consisting of beds of hard
sandstone and pudding stone, resting
on soft sandy layers, suddenly swept
across the valley of Goidau, burying
four villages, comprising over 300
houses, nearly 500 inhabitants and
more than eighty square miles OF fer
tile land. In 1c55 mass of debris slid
into the valley of the Tiber, which,
damned back by the obstruction, over
flowed the city of st. Stefano to the
depth of fifty feet, until the drowning
village was relieved by means of q
hastily constructed canal. Another
example of disastrous landslip is that
in which, by the sliding of portion of
Monte Como, the entire village OF
Plurs, with 2,430 inhabitants, was, in
16ls, overwhelmed. For several days
before the catastrophe masses of rock
had become detached from the
mountain, and numerous assures were
observed to form or widen on it's sides.
But the villagers disregarded the warn
ings, and were in a few minutes buried
with their possessions beneath sixty
feet of rock and earth. All attempts
to penetrate the mass proved fruitless.
and no trace of the town has since been
seen. The earth which entombed it is
now covered with luxuriant forest OF
chestnuts, but the original name sur
wives in the village of Plurs, or Pluro.
1t may almost be said that these catas-
trophies are SO frequent that history
preserves the memory of only the most
disastrous.

BY LARRY LrsNEr.

Once on a time-not long ago
Exactly when, you need not know,
A maiden, young and fair 70 see,
Was loved, almost adored by me.
Her soul was pure as mountain ice,
Untainted with single vice;
Her heart was warm with honest love,
Pure as the angels know above;
But ah tis misery now TO dwell
Upon the thought-my darling fell
No brush can paint the misery known
10 those who find themselves alone-
Alone, with all the world SO near
To mourn and woop with bitter tear,
A sure or doubtful loss OF those
We love SO dearly, but who chose
To torture US and calmly say,
II hou art the cause, away awayE
And 30 tits misery now to dwell
Upon the thought-my darling fell

While grief holds full and heartless swav.

And whispers words twere vain to tell,
For.shc--my life my idol-felll

What tender memories fall in line,

AT CHICAGO.
How tho Prisoners Received tho News
Police Precautions.

CHICAGO, Nov 3.
Whom the news came from Washington that
the Supreme Court had refused the writ of
error and made public its decision, TO say that
the heart Of ovory man around the jail jumped
up into his throat almost tells the truth. Clerk
Price actually turned pale and Jailer Folz
talked with excitement. IL is understood that
everything rests ON that decision, and
it was waited for With rs much
dread almost as though each man
himself was interested. The inform alton was
hastily writton ON a slip OF paper, and Chief
Clerk Price himself toox the notes up to Spies
and Parsons 10 see what they would say. Their
faces might as we'll have been stone for all the
feeling they betrayed. Not n shiver, shrug
OF the shoulders, nor any act that looked as IL
it made any difference to them whether the
Supreme Court decided they should hang or
not. When Clerk Price broke the news 20
Parsons tho latter was as impassive as
a marble statue. Not muscle moved, and II
his heart stood still an Instant one could tell
IT, Putting hts cigar between his lips, he
picked up q newspaper and slowly remarked /:
well, don't think 1 have anything TO say. '
WIN you answor the note2" -No, believe
not" "Do you believe it2" 1T may be true.
Spies conduct was Parsons over again.
Mr.. Osborne, who keeps the deatb-watch In
murderers row, was then prevailed upon TO so
10 the cell OF each anarchist and tell him the
decision OF the Supreme Court. When the
white haired oficer came down he was from
bling with emotion and his yo'as was ahoked.
